We can summarize these rules of how to behave in the following points:

- Locker. You must dress appropriately in each of the different facilities of the ship, surely when making the reservation they will have already indicated it to you. On many cruises you are not allowed to enter the restaurant or casino in a bathing suit.
- Moderation. Try to be moderate in your spending so you don't run out of money in the middle of the journey. The same with the consumption of alcohol, try not to mount drunk shows, it is very unpleasant to have to notify the personnel on board, so that they attract someone's attention.

Don't be impatient if the attention isn't immediate. And remember that there are few or many people you must treat all employees with respect. Also, do not be impatient with some public elements such as elevators, gym equipment, courts, saunas ...
